Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I appreciate the responses about vulvodynia and dating. I'm not at a point right now where I even have the energy to date, but I'm staying hopeful there will be someone out there who's compassionate, patient and nonjudgemental. I know having this condition has made me less judgemental in ways. I know some friends who have herpes, and believe me, their condition is much LESS debilitating as they can suppress their outbreaks with lysine or Valtrex and are still able to have pain- free sex, whereas vestibulitis is a more chronically debilitating conditon. and yes it may be helpful to tell a partner that " I'm not contagious " but that doesn't minimize the effect the pain has or the difficulty that having sex may bring.
